The Divided States of America

Erik Guzman December 7th, 2007

Tweet

Red and blue, conservatives and liberals, them and us…welcome to the Divided States of America.

Our country has been sliced and diced in the name of partisan politics. You think you're fighting for the future of the good ol' US-of-A, but you're actually right where the polarizers on both sides want you…lining their pockets as you fund the effort to battle "Them."

Cal Thomas and Bob Beckel stopped by to talk about Common Ground: How … (Read More)

Dealing with the Enemy

Steve Brown October 16th, 2007

Tweet

I sort of like Camille Paglia.

I know, I know.

She's a liberal and I'm not big on liberalism. She's a lesbian and I'm straight. She's an atheist and I'm a believer. She's a Democrat and I'm a Republican. But I can't help it; I like her. I like her because she is refreshing, because she says things I sometimes think and because she doesn't care who she offends.

I can't go there, but I can cheer her on.

For insta … (Read More)

The Humanity that Sets Us Free

Erik Guzman September 3rd, 2007

Tweet

We are all pretty much alike: sinful, afraid, lonely, regretful, sometimes doubting, sometimes right, sometimes wrong, angry, loving, hateful, selfish, kind, wounded, and very human. When we realize how much we have in common with those we tend to demonize, we've taken a big step toward diminishing our "enemies'" power over us.

This week on the Scandalous Freedom Podcast, Steve discusses the freedom that comes from the realization that nobody can sp … (Read More)

Three Startling Statements

Erik Guzman August 27th, 2007

Tweet

Christians don't have to pretend to be good. We don't have to be right. And we don't have to fight a battle that's already won.

Those statements run contrary to much of what we've been fed. As a result, many of us have handed the keys of our prisons over to enemies that don't even exist. And while these enemies are imaginary, we remain bound nonetheless.

Join Steve Brown on this week's Scandalous Freedom Podcast for an in-depth loo … (Read More)

Tony Campolo – The Politics of Demonization

Erik Guzman August 23rd, 2007

Tweet

Tony Campolo is a regular on SBE. Don't tell Steve, but I think he classes up the joint. Over the years, Tony has definitely earned the moniker of Our Favorite Lib. We've put so much Tony "in the can," I can't believe this is the first time we're letting him out on The Brown Sessions.

Join Steve and Tony as they talk about the carnage that lies ahead as we move closer to the 2008 presidential election, and how we citizens of The Kingdom … (Read More)

The Enemies We Demonize

Erik Guzman August 20th, 2007

Tweet

"If I were a gravedigger, or even a hangman, there are some people I could work for with a great deal of pleasure." -Douglas Jerrold

If the liberals are destroying your faith, if the gays are destroying the foundations of the family, if the apostate Christians are destroying the Church, if the warmongering conservatives are destroying the world, and if you have to do battle with them all…you can't just be the person God created you to be.

You have t … (Read More)
